[Phpwm] [OT] Youtube for video upload/backend for Website

[Pete Graham]

Hello,

Thanks for your suggestions so far. The client is keen on using Youtube as
they have a branded Youtube channel already and would like the sites video
content featured there too. However we're considering other video
upload/hosting solutions due to Youtubes apparent limitations.
